Chapter 817: The Soviet Navy Visits Argentina
Using oil prices to make a fuss and completely forcing the US economy into a dead end is a big move that Andrei has long begun to arrange, it can be said that from the beginning of the fight against Iran, Andrei has been planning to control the entire Middle East oil resources, and then to hit the US economy! In particular, when the Americans developed the myth of shale oil, Andrei's confidence was strengthened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Now, the United States has fully developed shale oil and invested huge sums of money, in this case, as long as all their shale oil enterprises lose money and go bankrupt, the US economy will be doomed!
When the price of crude oil in the world is lower than the price of shale oil extraction in the United States, it is up to the Americans to do it!
Historically, such an event occurred in the Soviet Union, under the control of the United States, the Middle East oil countries greatly increased production, so that the Soviet Union was in a dilemma, if not exploited, the oil workers could not be placed, and the oil wells were also at risk of abandonment, and exploitation, the Soviet Union needed to continue to pay the oil industry, and finally dragged down the Soviet economy.
By the late eighties, the Soviet Union relied almost entirely on oil exports to earn foreign exchange, and then bought grain from Western Europe, as a result, the Soviet Union could no longer make money from oil, and there was a shortage of domestic materials, and the people's complaints began.
And now, the industry of the Soviet Union is undergoing a major transformation, moving towards the emerging electronics industry, and various electronic products produced in the Soviet Union have opened up the European market! The Soviet Union's dependence on oil exports was gradually reduced, and on the other hand, of course, arms exports, so many military industrial enterprises in the Soviet Union could not be maintained only by state appropriations, but also turned into profitable units! The joint development of Super Seven is an example of transformation.
The United States, on the other hand, has become a country that relies on energy exports to maintain prosperity, and in such a situation, the destruction of the American economy is simply pleasing to the eye!
Of course, world oil prices will not fall sharply immediately, it will take time to increase oil production, and the game in all aspects will require countless rounds of negotiations, and it will take at least a year, and the output of the Middle East oil-producing countries will double, and at the same time, the world oil prices will also fall by more than half, and when the time comes, it will not exceed $50 per barrel, which will definitely make the United States grit its teeth and insist! And after another year, it has fallen to twenty dollars a barrel, I wonder how the United States should feel?
When you think about it, you can't wait!
But now, this is not the time to appreciate, the Soviet Union has more important things to do, of course, is to maintain friendly relations with Latin American countries!
At this time, the huge aircraft carrier formation of the Soviet Union had already sailed into the port of Buenos Aires, and on the port, it was already crowded. Argentine friends, are welcoming the arrival of the Soviet fleet!
In the past, the Argentines welcomed the Americans in this way, but unfortunately, the Americans threatened Argentina at the doorstep of Argentina, which led to the resentment of the whole country, and naturally, the Argentines began to be full of good feelings towards the Soviet Union.
Of course, this also has something to do with the deliberate direction of the government, in short, now, Argentines are singing and dancing!
"The warships of the Soviets are so beautiful!"
"Yes, that is, if only I could marry a Soviet sailor, I heard that the domestic economy of the Soviet Union is quite good, what do you want to eat!"
"Wow, that sailor is so heroic!"
When the warship sailed into the harbor, the Soviet sailors lined up on the deck in festive dresses, and if you look at it from the air, it just happened to be in the style of a Soviet flag and an Argentine flag!
With the help of several tugboats, the USS USSR finally got to the pier! This is the first time that the USSR has docked at the pier after several months since it sailed out of the Black Sea! The huge steel battleship, when it approached the dock, although it had the help of the tugboat, slowly touched, and still brought a shock to the dock.
On the shore, the commander of the Argentine Navy, Aranya, was in high spirits, he hid his excitement and stepped on the USSR!
Although Argentina also has its own aircraft carriers, compared with the aircraft carriers of the Soviet Union, its own aircraft carriers are children's toys, and the aircraft carriers of the Soviet Union are the real aircraft carriers!
Some of the warplanes that could not fit in the hangar were piled up on one side of the deck, and the whole deck looked as huge as a basketball court, especially the four catapults in the bow, shining, and the bridge was huge, and countless electronic devices were piled up on it.
"General Aranya, welcome to the Soviet Union!" On the deck, Andrey, on behalf of the entire fleet, greeted Aranya.
The two hands clasped together, and Aranya had an embarrassed expression: "General Andrei, originally, our president was going to come over to greet him in person, but recently, the activities of American agents were discovered here, and in order to prevent the assassination of the Americans, he can only stay in the presidential palace and wait for you." ā
Galtieri is going to welcome him personally, but unfortunately, he is still afraid of the bullets of the sniper rifles of the Americans!
Andrei nodded: "Let the president come here to greet you, then it will be a super-standard reception, welcome everyone to visit, I will take you to the bridge." ā
In fact, it was not only Galtieri who was worried about sniping, but Andrei was also worried about accidents, so he only showed up on the deck, followed these people, and entered the bridge.
It's a fortress of steel! Walked into the bridge, stood on it, and looked at everything around, Aranya sighed incomparably: "This aircraft carrier is really good, if we Argentina's economy recovers, we really want to order one from your country!" ā
With the continuous victory in the battle, the self-confidence of the Argentine Navy is also expanding, the Argentine aircraft carrier May 25, is only a 20,000-ton light aircraft carrier, carrying less than 20 aircraft, and, because of the limited speed, the catapult performance is not good, in the last sortie, the wind speed in the Atlantic Ocean disappeared, resulting in their inability to catapult the A-4 carrier-based aircraft, which makes them angry.
With the recovery of the Falklands, the Argentine Navy needs more maritime rights and interests to maintain, and with the development of oil resources around the Falklands, Argentina's economic situation will also improve, so Aranya really has the intention of building a large aircraft carrier.
Andrei shook his head: "General Aranya, our aircraft carrier is expensive to build and maintain, and it is not cost-effective for you, if you have needs, we can help you transform the aircraft carrier, such as increasing the power of the catapult, improving the ability of the catapult aircraft, and we can also export our advanced MiG-29K carrier-based aircraft to you." Of course, these are all things that will come later, and at this stage, the most important thing for us is how to deal with the six aircraft carrier formations of the Americans. ā
Andre's words made Aranya's face quickly become serious, yes, the most important thing now is how to deal with the six-aircraft carrier formation of the United States! (To be continued.) )
